Challenge	Roland Scandinavia A/S, a leading distributor of musical instruments and large-format color printers in the Nordic countries, was struggling with managing a rapidly increasing volume of data from procurement, storage, and sales. The company had invested in the ERP system Scala to help create the needed overview, but it soon became obvious that it was difficult to draw out useful data.

The company has an annual turnover of DKK 266 million and employs 56 people. The head office of Roland is located in Copenhagen, and the company has offices in Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

QlikTech had developed a ready-made QlikView Template for Scala and after the first presentation of the system, it only took a few hours before the first graphical representation of the company data was ready. The QlikView software takes up so little space that it fits on a laptop, providing an instant and total overview of the company data. Today, around 15 employees at Roland use QlikView on a daily basis. It is the preferred tool of the Sales Managers, but the users vary from Directors to Sales Assistants.
